It has always been my desire to expose people to the unseen elements or small details that surround them from the natural world and to have sensory experiences of beauty or feelings of wonder. I find that color of this intensity fills the viewer with awe. I like that!

Color is one of the tools that I utilize to achieve that desire. For 30 years I have been working with Cibachrome, manufactured by a Swiss Company, which became Ilfochrome in 1992. The archival color darkroom material is a positive receiver and the process is a projection of light passing through my compositions. The exposure on this light sensitive material, when processed, gives me the luminous color I am looking for to help create a zen-like environment, that is enveloping and engaging.

In 2012, the last run of Ilfochrome,was manufactured. Now I am one of the only photographers still using the medium. Although my paper is now expired, I am still printing captivating unique pieces from my final box of 20x24" paper in 2014.

My education in photography began at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, with professor Dennis Staffne, currently of St. Louis. I began working on Cibachrome while pursuing my BFA in Photography. A process I immediately became enthralled with was unique printing on this material, though I was the only one in the program that worked that way.

Many years later while working as an art director in Los Angeles, I was introduced to The Lab Ciba and Frank Green, where I had the opportunity to locate my darkroom near their 48” processor. There I have made 8x10” through 48x56” prints. My color analog darkroom has been located there since the late 80s, now 25 yrs, giving me the ability to print consistently.

I have shown in many galleries and sold over a thousand of these unique prints. It is my current goal to exhibit this work in museums. Publishing monographs will also be a new goal as printing new work with this medium and process is coming to a close.

New maiden journeys are ahead and I look forward to exploring and creative discoveries!
